RuthC Posted October 1, 2022 #3 Share Posted October 1, 2022 No harm in trying! $250 OBC is nothing to sneeze it. Hope it can be processed in time. Perhaps you can put an alert at the top of the submittal, and plead for mercy that someone bumps it to the top. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare The-Inside-Cabin Posted October 1, 2022 #4 Share Posted October 1, 2022 I have had success requesting this with only 2 days prior to sailing - it was accepted quickly and applied. No guarantee but worth trying. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No guarantee but worth trying. Yes, but you *owned* the shares and had a statement thereof, way before two days. Just saying. Seems like they wouldn't want people buying (at least at these prices) just before sailing, because they might sell quickly after the cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florida_gal_50 Posted October 2, 2022 #8 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Hopefully the op will come back to say if it worked. I’m not the most optimistic person in the world but I think it could happen. I wouldn’t want to test the theory though just for giggles. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
not in ks anymore Posted October 2, 2022 #9 Share Posted October 2, 2022 We always fax our proof of ownership in and usually have our acceptance sent by HAL within 2 hours to 2 days. As a failsafe we also bring our proof of ownership with us in case the credit isn't shown. There was only one time that we needed to have the credit handled onboard and it was quickly taken care of. Take your paperwork and enjoy your cruise! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare FlaMariner Posted October 2, 2022 #13 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Email it in....in the last month we emailed our info and had a confirmation in 24 to 48 hours. Pay $700 for Carnival stock (100 shares at $7/share) and immediately receive a $250 dividend! Enjoy the OBC and the journey! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertDogs Posted October 3, 2022 #14 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Just purchased 100 shares today at $6.81. Emailed confirmation and received a response within 10 minutes that my $250 OBC was applied!! I owned CCL in 2001 but sold in 2008 for a nice profit so this is a really good price per share! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did go through and purchase the shares this week and sent the paperwork off to HAL. No confirmation of the OBC yet, but via phone I was told it is not an issue. Just take the paperwork with us and have the pursers desk add it when we board. Note: I believe that CCL stock value will be fine in time. In believing so, I purchased 150 shares so that we would have the 100 shares for OBC at a very modest cost, and keep 50 shares to hold until the value more than covers all of my initial hard costs to purchase the 150 shares of stock. No harm, no foul. Even if, in the worst case, the stock should become worthless, we are fortunate that the $1,000 or so spent means near nothing in our savings. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just spoke with HAL and they said the credit WAS applied to our account 2 days ago. Basically, the same day that I purchased the stock and first submitted the paperwork. So, it does work! Yeah! Now, onto packing for our flight tomorrow to our embarkation port! 10 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm SO happy to hear it worked out for you. I had a good feeling. Thank you for the update. It's always good to hear that things worked out. I hope you have a wonderful cruise.

I bought 100 shares a couple of years ago and recently bought another 100. Hoping the second purchase goes up enough to cover my losses on the first. I, too, am not worried about the long term.

Let me take this opportunity to thank you for all the information you give to others here on the HAL board. You're a big help to many people here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aulanis Posted October 18, 2022 #25 Share Posted October 18, 2022 I am currently having a spat with HAL they come across as being pretty useless on many levels. 13 September I sent off the only documentation I have for shares I bought when they were cheap at £30!!!!! . I have used the same documentation for many cruises since they stopped paying dividends, a copy of the share certificate and a copy showing my holding as at the date I send it. These are of course UK shares in Carnival plc which are registered a UK registrar Equiniti. Granted we have not cruised with HAL for some time but many times with Princess. Our TA has sent off to HAL but has indicated even they have to wait 2 weeks or so for a reply. Any UK folks reading this ? have you had any problems? Some have posted you can get the credit added on board I hope that is the case. as it looks as if that will be what I am doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
